AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]It was therefore an object of the present invention to provide a 3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methyl-propyl)-phenol compound in a form suitable for administration, in particular in a solid form, e.g. for oral administration, which has advantages over the prior art, for example with respect to solubility, absorbability, concentration in the blood, or bioavailability of the pharmacologically active compound.

Problems solved by technology

Conventional formulations for oral administration of a 3-(3-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-2-methyl-propyl)-phenol compound such as tapentadol usually lead to rapid release of the active substance in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby leading to a rather rapid onset of its analgesic action.
However, the need for frequent dosing may lead to errors in administration and to undesirable variations in the concentration of the compound in the blood plasma which could be detrimental to patient compliance and the therapeutic benefit, particularly when treating chronically painful conditions.

Salt or Cocrystal of Tapentadol and (2S,3S)-Dibenzoyl Tartaric Acid

[0220]20 g (0.090 mol) of tapentadol and 16.19 g (0.045 mol) of (+)-(2S,3S) dibenzoyl tartaric acid were dissolved in 400 mL of acetone. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for about 3 hours. The resulting crystalline precipitate was filtered off and dried under reduced pressure (6 mbar) at 40° C. (yield 36.1 g, 100%, melting point (DSC): To=152.5° C., Tp=170.7° C.; 9.7 J / g, To=185.7° C., Tp=188.2° C., 119.1 J / g). 1H-NMR analysis showed a 2:1-stochiometry of tapentadol and (+)-(2S,3S) dibenzoyl tartaric acid.

Salt or Cocrystal of Tapentadol and Sebacic Acid

[0221]125 g (0.56 mol) of tapentadol were dissolved in 700 mL of ethyl acetate. To this solution, 114.21 g (0.56 mol) of sebacic acid were added as a solid in portions. Then, 50 mL of ethyl acetate were added. Subsequently, the resulting suspension was stirred for 15 hours. The resulting crystalline white precipitate was then slowly filtered off and dried at 60° C. under reduced pressure (6 mbar) (yield: 232.96 g, 97.37%, melting point (DSC): To=77.9° C., Tp=81.1° C., 99.5 J / g). 1H-NMR analysis showed a 1:1-stochiometry of tapentadol and sebacic acid.

Salt or Cocrystal of Tapentadol and 1-Hydroxy-2-Naphthoic Acid

[0222]120 g (0.54 mol) of tapentadol were dissolved in 700 mL of 2-propanol. To this solution, 102.02 g (0.54 mol) of 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid were added as a solid in portions. Then, 100 mL of 2-propanol were added. After complete addition, the resulting suspension was stirred for 18 hours. The crystallized brownish precipitate was then filtered off and dried at 50° C. under reduced pressure (6 mbar) (yield: 199.43 g, 89.83%, melting point (DSC): To=114.9° C., Tp=122.7, ° C., 1.0 J / g; To=157.6° C., Tp=159.9° C., 78.3 J / g). 1H-NMR analysis showed a 1:1-stochiometry of tapentadol and 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid.
